Job Description
At the Guinness Partnership, our Planned Investment Delivery teams deliver a cyclical programme of improvements that enhance the quality and safety of our residents’ homes.
We have a new opportunity for an experienced Project Delivery Manager to join the Guinness team. This is a full-time, permanent role, based in Milton Keynes, covering the Home Counties. Your time will be split between on-site visits, office-based work, and some home working.
As a Project Delivery Manager, your primary purpose will be to lead the successful delivery of planned works, which includes work to windows, roofs, doors and other parts of the building fabric. You will work closely with, and manage external consultants and contractors under a long-term, Target Cost Model and Open Book Planned Partnering Contract (PPC) to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.
What We Are Looking For
We know that how we do things is just as important as what we do. That is why we are seeking someone with firsthand experience of delivering planned works within a housing or public sector environment. You will also be a confident collaborator with the ability to develop positive working relationships with colleagues, contractors, and residents. We are looking for someone who can positively represent Guinness when engaging with our external contractors.
